DEPARTMENT HONORS

The Department of Marketing offers the opportunity for certain of its outstanding students to achieve the designation of Honors in Marketing and provides the opportunity for advanced study under close faculty supervision. Selection for honors designation is based on the student's academic performance and recommendation by the Department Undergraduate Program Committee (UPC) in consultation with the Marketing faculty. To be eligible for the designation, students must have a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 at UTSA and a minimum grade point average of 3.5 in their major at UTSA. To enroll in honors thesis courses and to graduate with the honors designation, these minimum grade point averages must be maintained. Students applying for Honors in Marketing are expected to enroll in the appropriate honors thesis course during their final two semesters. The completed thesis must be approved by a supervising faculty sponsor in Marketing and the UPC. Students interested in this program should contact the UPC through the Department of Marketing office for additional information. Department Honors can be attained independent of, or in addition to, University Honors.
